THE HOUSE COMMITTEES. MEART BURNINGE. Spectal Dupateh to The Chicaao Tribune, WasninuToy, D, C., Dec. 20.—No Republican Speaker has ever surceeded in stirring up half a8 much tumult over commaittees as Mr. Kerr. ‘The Republicans aro more than estisfied, and bave overy reason for congratulation. Counting ability in debats and expericnce, both in com- mittoes and on the floor, thoy are fully equal, and 10 most casos decidedly atronger than tho Democrats on esch of tho important commit- teos,—Ways and Blcaos, Appropriations, Bank- ing and Curroncy. aud Juaiciary. Tho solection of Morrison, of 1llinois, is cxcoudingly distaste- ful, altbough he is so excellont mau; but although he baa been a membor of several Con- resacs there were some old members who did not even kuow him by sight, and there wero only thres or four iu the reporters’ gallery who could point him out. Cox snd Fernando Wood aro both very angry, and denounce _tho Speaker in hareh and unmeasured torms. Tho Commit- teo is decidedly hard monoy, aud at the zame timo on tho question of tanff in favor of & tariff for rovenue. THE DANKING AND CURTENCY COMMITTEE in also strongly againet iatlation, oud is probably in tavor of lard money. The Paciflc Railroad Committes conld not have been relecled 80 as to bo stropgor in_fuvor of the Toxas Pacific, and many Democrats declara with omwphasis that it must bhave been understood that it should be thus consti- tuted. This carious featuro is occasioning mnch romatk, in view of tho vote of the House on Holmauw's anti-subsidy resolution. The selection of Proctor Knott as head of the Judiciary Committeo is criticised severoly. and ‘many Demoorats say it brings the wholo® busi- noas of Speakers paming committees iuto ridi- cule. If Mark Twuin, or Artemus Ward, or Petroloum V. Nasby had been announced in- stoad, there would linve been no more evideuce of unfitnces of solection. Mr. Kuott's friends doclaro that be is a very ablo lawyer, hut tho fact remains thot he will never take tho floor, even oo the gravest and most important legal questions, that the House will not break out in genoral snicker expecting, of coul a line of remark and joke worthy of a comic slmanac. Tt does not muake tho matter botter Lo reflect that 3ayler, of Obio, and sov- oral vory prominent Eustern Iaxyets were con- sidered and dropped iu to countorbalauce Knott, because it was deemed policy to givo this Com- mitteo to the South in view of the reconstruc- tiou menaures it hud puffered boretofore at tho hands of this Committes, Northorn Demnocrats aro sore, also, over tho fact that the Spoakor Las seen fit to give tho South more Chaire men, sud, omitting tho Ways and Means and Apprapniations, more important commitiees than the North, the Bouth haviog twenty-four Chair- ameu sud the North twonts-one, aud of the im- rtant committovs, the South has thirteen and lio north twelve, Alexander Blopheus was as- signed & Clinirmanship, although Le hss nat yet been Bworn in a8 a mewber of tuo Houss, THEZ PENNSTLYANIANS VERY MAD, The Pcnu?lunilns havo baen in consultation to-night, and the result promises heavy wrath in the Houwe. They eay that, ns they aro ono- tenth of tho House, thoy are ontitled tabo repre- nented on avery important committes, but that ten ars on no committee of conscquonce, and are without & committee-room oven, and that nine prominent Comunitteos have mno Penosyiraniana ou them, sad further, that Re- publicaus from that Stato are well provided for.

Theio are three Union ofticers of promi- nence ou it—Bavning, Clistrman ; Gon, Will- iams, who commanded the Twentieth Corru; sud Gen, Huribut, of 1Hmois. Thers are two Confoderats Generals—Terry, of Virginia, and Cooke, of (ieorgia. ‘The Democratio part of tho Committeo on District of Columbia in reganied as weak, ex- copt the Chairman, sud with the exception of Bealye, of Manaschusetts, tha whole Committes on Indian Affairs is very poor and woak. and this fact excites much talk among Democrats. “F'ie Committes on Rules is oxcasdingly stroug.

On the other hand, tho Repubiican are well aatiaied, aud the developments of tha session are likely to be such as will bring their strength on tho Committees into bolder prom- inenca day by day. ‘Thore was a mecting of the now Committes on Ways and Means to-day.
